It hasn't been a great couple of weeks for Tyga, and according to new lawsuit documents he now has something else to worry about. His former business partner Chuon Gen Lee is suing him for stealing her clothing concept, reports TMZ. Tyga and Lee previously worked together on a clothing brand called Last Kings back in January 2013. 

Allegedly, the former Young Money rapper promised to promote the new brand and get it on the shelves of California retailer Tilly's. But, Tyga did not make good on his word, and instead made off with half a million dollars of the clothing. He then went on to launch a new brand similarly named Egypt Kings. 

Lee is suing Tyga and his new business partner for $1.6 million, plus damages. 

Tyga's rep has responded to the claims, telling TMZ, "These, like other allegations, are completely false. This was a business relationship that went sour and was ended last year. We learned of the complaint via TMZ and are aware that individuals will continue to attempt to cash in on Tyga's success."
